A 2022 second round pick (after the trades - hell, even with the trades it was only the same combined value as our Christensen pick) is not mortgaging the future. He's the starting QB this year, but we jettisoned a QB making MORE money than Darnold is due to make next year in a heartbeat. He's the starter this year - beyond that nothing is certain. Fingers crossed he nails down the job because we're in a hell of a position if he lives up to his talent.

It was a smart move by the Panthers bringing Gantt in-house as he's a very good journalist - but damn I miss him being the grouchy outsider.

Imagine if he doesn't play football for three years. What a crazy, crazy trade that was.

I just see it as him being honest with fellow pros. "Look, before you commit to this team, just know that you're probably playing with a 2nd year QB rather than the reigning MVP". Players respect that. The Green Bay FO are to blame for this situation.

The best advice I could give him is to not wear an FSU t-shirt in his videos.

So basically the Panthers have significantly improved their roster AND get McCaffrey back... but we'll be a worse team?

God I hated those guys. Imagine being a multi-millionaire / billionaire and watching an interview of your two highest paid, most influential employees goofing off like this in a press conference. I'd have sacked them both on the spot. Bill Voth's 'feels like a big boy organisation now' comment was right.

I was going to scream 'bullshit', but then I saw that they didn't grade Peppers. I guess he didn't work out at the Combine.

That worries me.

Rhule inherited a dumpster fire. Also, Scrubs is brilliant.

Pretty much what Tim Jenkins said - the play calling sets him up to fail:

I will not take this Herndon slander sitting down. (Berrios is open too, but some would see that as me being a biased fan).

Tell that to David Bakhtiari.

Damn do these guys ever take a day off?

I'm not sure what they thought of Slater - I personally think he'll be a good LT in this league. I think the lower down the Draft you go the more comfortable you are with taking players with 'flaws'. i.e. if you're hesitant to take Slater at #8 overall due to his arm length, but a very comparable player is there at #70 then you jump all over that.

I wouldn't be surprised if they let Moton walk after this year.

Is it though? They don't differentiate between X, Y and Z receivers. He gets crushed in the height / weight section of his RAS score because there's 6'4" monsters roaming the NFL at WR.

It must be an off-field issue because the tape I've seen of his so far is outstanding. Exactly what you look for out of a 4-3 3Tech.

Wait, would I have to be 340lbs too? (he was 376lbs at the Senior Bowl btw)

FYI Keith Taylor plays in that game too (I know because he's just given up a DPI on BYU's first drive )

LOL the pre-game 'Cougar walk'.

I personally think the Bucs had a terrible Draft - albeit it's not going to bite them for a number of years as that roster is loaded.

For what they gave up for him he has to be an upper echelon NFL starter and quickly.
